Episode 24: NEO, how many people will he stop?
1 copy.
2 copies.
3 copies.
And again 1 copy.
If ACE keeps entering in the wrong direction,
it looked as if agents Smith with the same face
were proliferating one after another.
Therefore,
the name given to the role to stop that proliferation is
NEO
.
The name has been decided.
But,
the real problem started from here.
How many Smiths should be stopped?
If you think about it simply,
when a certain number has been reached
it would be enough to prohibit new entries.
For example,
if you have 2 copies
you stop the 3rd.
if you have 3 copies
you stop the 4th.
if you have 4 copies
you stop the 5th.
That would be easy.
But,
when looking at backtests
the sense of incongruity appeared quickly.
Having 3 copies is not inherently dangerous
Even with the same 3 copies,
there are times when all are profitable.
Conversely,
even with only 2 copies,
both can be heavily unrealized losses.
In other words,
the number alone cannot tell whether the cluster is dangerous.
